Hmm… I followed the guidelines, but when I try to import the project into CS3 I get the note:

“After Effects error: chunk in file too big – probably unsupported file version”

Since I don’t have CS4 & I need to open some recent stuff in CS3 which I did in CS4 I’m looking really hard for a solution…
can anyone help plz? 🙂

I know this post is a bit late…lol

Another issue which can be experimented with are water splashes, not just small ones, I mean splashes the size of those you can see in “Poseidon”, or the splashes in a boat wake or those jumping sea animals plunging back into the water… 😉

I think this is also a very nice emitter theme… 😀 (perhaps not for this library (03/07), but for any kind of emitter library in the future…

Yes, some great emitters more to add to the collection…

BTW, i can’t wait to see some eclectic emitters in future librarys, all guys keep up the good work…

Oh, you mean that you’re looking for a way to generate a particle effect that looks like the alicia teleporting… hmmm I’d propose you to make use of some of those “colour from image” emitters to create some distortions…

about your emitter type => I’d have two possibilities:

in both types you’d have to roto / paint the masks for the desintegration /teleporting + hiding your disappearing parts frame by frame

1. Use an area emitting super emitters + the mask of your image (use the different masks as an animation file)

2. Use a line – super-emitter (doesn’t need to follow the accurate shape), then modify the point positions throughout the animation…

Might sound a bit complicated…:)

I think you’d do it the following way:

When I’m right, alicia teleports / desintegrates from the outside to the inside. Therefore you need an emitter that starts teleporting / desintegrating the person on the outside, and then travelling to the inside.

=> I might have a solution to this, but I need to know how you want to deal with the problem of the alpha channel… alright? 🙂

There seems to be a problem with your youtube link:

when I click on it, it says:

“This video is a duplicate of a previously uploaded video.”

About your problem:

When I’m right, you want to create an effect similar to Elvis Deane’s Video, where he is hit by a laser & then desintegrates (you just want to let it explode 😉 ).

My tip: Look at Elvis’ tutorial on desintegrating people here on Creative Cow:
https://www.creativecow.net/articles/deane_elvis/disintegratePeople/index.html

Hope it helps… if I’m wrong, oops…;D
